Translated from ancient Sumerian by: David Morgan-Mar

The author writes:

Don't write in to say that the fax machine is anachronistic in this time period. They were invented in 1846 and the first commercial service was set up in 1865.

And as we know, fax machines will still be in use thousands of years into the future, because they are one of those technologies that refuses to die, despite being completely and utterly redundant.

So there are other things to worry about with this strip being set simultaneously in 1879 and 22930, but the fax machine isn't one of them.
